Choosing the right sized tipper truck

The bodies of tippers when unfilled are completely empty and free from any equipment that takes up vital space. It is this fact that means a 6 or 8 wheel tipper will carry a far larger volume of material than an equivalently sized grab lorry (please see below).

So, when is it right to choose a tipper truck?

In almost all circumstances we would advise a customer to choose a tipper truck when the following statements are true.

The access to the site or property is clear and at least 3m wide

There is a suitable space on-site to manoeuvre the lorry

The roadway is stable and suitable for lorries that can weigh up to (approximately) 32 tonnes

There are qualified people available on-site with the appropriate lifting equipment to be able to load the tipper truck if it has been hired for a muckaway or site clearance service
